She has also seen the opponents of transparency go to ever greater lengths to discourage and obstruct legitimate reporting. Attkisson herself has been subjected to "opposition research" efforts and spin campaigns.
Product Information
Who's been hacking Sharyl Attkisson's computers Computers that turn themselves on in the night, make strange noises, then shut themselves down. Whoever is doing it is using highly sophisticated spyware available only to our top intelligence agencies. Is someone sending Attkisson a message Washington, D.C., has always been a tough town for investigative journalists. But in the age of Obama, the government has taken the tried-and-true techniques of bureaucratic stonewalling to unprecedented heights. What's more, it has added harassment, intimidation, and outright spying to the mix. Through more than thirty years as an award-winning investigative reporter, Sharyl Attkisson fought tirelessly to uncover wrongdoing by those in power, whether major corporations, government officials, or presidential administrations of both parties. But when she started looking into stories involving the Obama administration's mistakes and misjudgments in a series of high-profile cases-stories few in mainstream journalism would touch-she was confronted with the administration's use of hardball tactics to discourage, block, and actively suppress her investigative work. A dogged reporter with a well-earned reputation as a "pit bull," Attkisson filed a series of groundbreaking stories on the Fast and Furious gunwalking program, Obama's green energy boondoggle, the unanswered questions about Benghazi, and the disastrous rollout of Obamacare. Her news reports were met with a barrage of PR warfare tactics, including emails and phone calls up the network chain of command, criticism from paid-for commenters and bloggers, and a campaign of character assassination that continues to this day. Most disturbing of all, Attkisson reveals that as she broke news on Fast and Furious and Benghazi, her computers and phone lines were hacked and bugged by an unrevealed but tremendously sophisticated party. Stonewalled is the story of the Obama administration's efforts to monitor journalists, intimidate and harass opposition groups, and spy on private citizens. But it is also a searing indictment of the timidity of the press and the dangerous decline of investigative journalism and unbiased truth telling in America today.

Reviews
A deep, nuanced and indignant indictment of the players who have made investigative journalism harder to conduct, even if those actors are other journalists. -- Kirkus Reviews "Attkisson offers a harrowing and gripping account of journalism as practiced these days in Washington. She skillfully unveils how she discovered the secret scheme to spy on her. The larger and more disturbing takeaway is how the mainstream are falling down on the job." -- Jeff Gerth, Pulitzer Prize winning former investigative reporter for the New York Times, Attkisson offers a harrowing and gripping account of journalism as practiced these days in Washington.

The larger and more disturbing takeaway is how the mainstream are falling down on the job., A deep, nuanced and indignant indictment of the players who have made investigative journalism harder to conduct, even if those actors are other journalists.

This has got to be one of the best books I have read on the subject of actual investigative reporting and the consequences of neutral and unbiased reporting by someone who really knows. It is really rare to get an author without a left or right opinion. I was interested from cover to cover. It's no wonder she has gotten so many awards for her work. I just wish there were more in Washington with her skills.
Real Journalism Revisted....FINALLY! About Time. Overdue!
Whilst I purchased Stonewalled as a gift, I also began reading a copy of it, and it ... Whilst I purchased Stonewalled as a gift, I also began reading a copy of it, and it is filled with (and it has been long overdue) balanced journalism. For example, I was reading the chapter on the farce called "Green Energy" (Titled: Green Energy Gone Red, I do believe it is; page 139 to 158). Now, to be sure, Ms. Attkisson is not anti-Green Energy; instead, she does present both sides of the issue when it is applicable (be that good or bad news). Well, she had bad news to tell us here. Ms. Attkisson reveals stories that she tried to get published that were not only blocked but also purposely buried. Publishers (she learned) only wanted to show the public the pro-side and never inform the public of the downsides of the Green Energy debate. For instance, whilst Obama was lying to the public that Green Energy was doing fantastic, successful, going great guns, in reality he had made unsound, really stupid investments with Tax Payer Dollars to companies with poor track records of success. In truth, at last count in my reading of Ms. Attkisson's book, at least two dozen of these businesses were failing (going bankrupt). Now, keep in mind these companies got billions of our tax dollars! Now, a suspicious person would assert that Obama was maliciously trying to bankrupt the U.S. Treasury/Economy (and I am a suspicious person of anyone, such as he, trained in classic communism). Moreover, and yes it does get worse (just when you thought it couldn't), but Obama promised America more jobs. Hmmmm, well, you had to understand lying communism to get this line straight. He spoke of helping the U.S. Economy, as well. Yes, we did get more jobs....but many positions saw Koreans flown in to fill them (in the news padded to sound better/more acceptable, termed "Korean nationals" but they really didn't want to tell us at all). Indeed, some Americans did get some jobs....but the promise was not kept that these jobs would be American jobs. Worst still (and, yes, it gets worse again, believe it or not) the U.S. Economy was not helped but, instead, the Korean, Chinese, etc. Economies were assisted (again, a suspicious person --and I am suspicious of these pro-communist people--would think Obama was on purpose, with ill intent usurping America's best interest). This is the type of information you glean from Ms. Attkisson's wonderful, informative book. I do recommend you buying this book. She also has a chapter on Benghazi. I wager it is an EYEPOPPER! But, no surprise to me as Hillary and Obama (despite what we were told) could watch in real time the deaths of those four brave Americans. On purpose they did nothing. I do wonder if (as I read this chapter starting today)...but I do wonder if Ms. Attkisson reveals that Obama and Hillary Clinton did eat popcorn whilst they watched Americans die. Hmmmm, we shall see. At any rate, her book is wonderful and I greatly recommend it.
Awesome book. Worth the read. A "wake-up America" to the truth about Washington. Ms ... Awesome book. Worth the read. A "wake-up America" to the truth about Washington. Ms Attkisson is a journalist at her best, going after the truth and not stopping until she gets the answers.
